Inter 2 Juventus 1

Charlton 9 +2

Believe Betis have to visit both Real and Barca, Real have to goto Barca, so if all win at home and win all other games there will be Real and Barca with same points, Betis 1 point behind, goal difference is a big factor but if Betis get a draw or 2 and the el Classico is a draw than Betis may have it, most competitive Spanish season in years, David Silva has to keep up the form, Messi will need to kick in and then Falcao start scoring, exciting or what

Europa Cup Group 1

Newcastle 2 Lille 0
Sevilla 0 Napoli 3

Newcastle 10 +5
Napoli 7 +3
Lille 5 -1
Sevilla 4 -7

apologies dont know how come the same person got 2 teams in the same competition, wont happen again.

And thank you Messi for making it 2 out of 2 today, can't remember the last time I won by that many in Europe, maybe the 2 target men are having a little competition between themselves, think Silva owes Messi a £10 for beating him this week

Europa Cup Group 2

Leicester 2 Chelsea 1
Lyon 0 AC Milan 5

Leicester 10 +4
Chelsea 8 +4
Milan 7 +5
Lyon 1 -13

Liverpool and Nantes go through bit surprising that Feyenoord went out.

Europa Cup group 4

Real Betis 3 Spurs 4 ( interesting )
Ancona 3 Gornik 2

Spurs 11 +5
Ancona 11 +3
Betis 3 -2

Interesting.... come to think of it... I dont think I had cup orders sheet for Betis?. Paul, can you send me an expert turn for Betis this week?. Need to work out what the chuff is going off in Europe. Suspect the side that played may be different to the league?

Was the bosses fault for feyanoords lack luster European campaign.

Too many are only trained in FLY and that simply isn't going to work in Europe, they've been learning few more compact tactics but it all came just a little but too soon.

Next year I fancy out chances of makin a greater fist of it
